Jaclyn Grimaldi, a senior in the Department of
Architecture, CETA, has created an exhibit entitled "Raw Perspectives,"
which is currently on display in Mortensen Library.
The exhibit is Grimaldi's representation of her exploration of the
relationship of religion and spirituality. During the summer and into
this fall semester she explored, through photography, ceramics, poetry
and architecture, her personal understanding of this relationship.
Since she felt this is a personal journey for everyone, she felt the
need to design an exhibit that is interactive. Grimaldi invites you to
comment in the journal book and to answer a question posed on the back
of the cards above the journal book.
Her advisor for this Independent Study project, Associate Professor of Architecture James E. Fuller,
commented "Jaclyn’s honest approach to this work required that she
explore deeply her own feelings and to discover ways to express these
through different media. She is very demanding of herself and,
throughout the process, pushed herself to understand her feelings but
also to create ways for viewers to be participants in her work, sharing
in the discovery, and sharing their thoughts."
The exhibit will be on display adjacent to the circulation desk in Mortensen Library through Thursday, Dec. 20.

Hemchandra M. Shertukde, professor of electrical and computer engineering, CETA, was a keynote speaker at CEMD-2012,
which was held Dec. 2-4 in Guangzhou, China. Shertukde presented his
keynote speech on his research on Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC) on
Dec. 2, 2012.
Shertukde then proceeded to Kolkata, India, to attend the PAN IIT
2012 (Dec. 7-9), where he presented his new Electro Cardiac Diagnostic
Device (eCAD). On Dec. 10, he visited his alma mater, IIT Kharagpur, to
celebrate its Diamond Jubilee.
Shertukde will proceed to Mumbai to conduct student recruiting
activities on behalf of CETA. Professor Shertukde is presently on
sabbatical writing his book on DPV-Grid Transformer Applications, CRC
Press, Taylor Francis Publishers.
